Classical Piano Lessons in Belmont. Amazing Teachers.

My teaching philosophy revolves around creating a customized curriculum based on the needs and interests of my student. The best way to engage students is to teach the music they enjoy and makes them passionate. I maintain my dedication to building passionate musicians while upholding rigor and musical theory within the student's personal interests. If you complete 25+ lessons in a year, I also offer a recital in the Spring for a great performance opportunity and an overall great time.

I enjoy working with most of my students, especially those who practice hard. I find all students unique and they response differently to my requests or questions. I feel that very often I need to react spontaneously to their responses. For the beginners I mainly focus on reading musical notes and learning correct rhythmic values. With beginners who haven’t played the piano at all I teach finger exercises written finger numbers only. Then I use Piano Adventures theory, lesson, technique and artistry, performance, and popular music books. Although Alfred’s and Bastien’s methods are well known, I prefer Piano Adventures because they introduce the coordination of right and left hand in more progressive manner. At the beginning the following will be covered.
• Postures at the piano, finger numbers, high and low on the keyboard
• Music alphabet, Intervals
• Musical form, Dynamic marks
• Staff; line notes, space notes
• Time signature, accent mark, legato, staccato
• Basic chords ...

We will learn to read music, play in your favorite style from pop and jazz to classical music, and we will have fun!

My main goal as a music educator is to instill in my students a sense of self esteem, artistic curiosity and discipline when it comes to music, singing and the piano.
I accept students of all ages (3+) musical backgrounds beginner to professional.
All styles of repertoire are encouraged.
I’m excited to offer a special piano program designed for children ages 3-5 and for ages 5+.
An encouraging first music lesson experience is critical to your child's long-term enjoyment of the piano.
Lessons are tailored to meet the needs of preschool-aged (ages 3-5) and beginning piano students (ages 5+) to ensure that their first music experience is both positive and enjoyable.
Falling in love with the piano is easy with the right lessons! With story-based instruction your child will get a head start in music, math and life while:
Learning symbol-to-sound recognition
Practicing finger independence and coordination
Improving aural awareness
Learning math skills to assist musical understanding

First thing I do before first day of class is send out a welcoming greeting via email and call a few days before first lesson. We Briefly discuss and establishing the learning goals for the course based on the visual literacy,technical,and intellectual competencies the students should achieve by the end of a period is ideal for me to design the course or update an existing course for the student's desired outcomes. The syllabus and the schedule are completed along with a comprehensive strategy for what will take place during class. Music lessons include: warm ups, exercises, technical and theory work, solfeggio (sight-singing), ear training, repertoire musical coaching, composition writing, preparation for performances and more.
